"In The Stars" Chapter 37 Epilogue
!"These Are the Special Times" belongs to Christina Aguilera.!
Wufei stepped through the front door, the cold winter air nipping at his heels. Pushing the door closed behind him he dumped his back on the floor, glad it was all finally over. After two years he was finally done and satisfied with what he'd accomplished. He slid out of his jacket hanging it on the coat rack in the entryway. He stepped toward the living room when a loud shout surprised him.
Duo bounded out from behind the couch with a 'surprise', followed closely by Quatre, Trowa, and Heero; who all appeared seemingly out of no where. Treize stepped out of the kitchen with a huge smile and congratulations.
"So how does it feel to be a college graduate?" Duo asked approaching him.
"Honestly, less stressful," Wufei answered with a grin.
"Oh yeah!" Duo agreed.
"How is the married life?"
"Fantastic," Duo replied turning to look at Heero who gave them both a slight smile.
Wufei smiled back before looking at Duo again. "I can't believe you're here."
"Hey how would I not come congratulate you?" Duo replied trying to sound hurt.
"Right, sorry I questioned you," Wufei laughed glad his friends were there to share this with him.
"Look we even brought gifts and food! Wouldn't want to eat you out of house and home," Duo joked as Treize approached them.
The older man easily pulled Wufei into his arms, little to no resistance at the gesture. "I'm extremely proud of you," Treize said leaning down to kiss Wufei gently.
"Thank you for all your help," Wufei replied once the kiss ended.
"You two have plenty of time to celebrate," Duo cut in pulling Wufei away from Treize. "Celebrate with us instead!"
"All right, all right," Wufei agreed as Duo led him further into the room. Upon sitting down on the couch he was suddenly bombarded with gifts from all four of his friends. "You guys didn't have to get me anything."
"Nonsense!" Duo disagreed laughing as he sat beside Wufei.
Wufei slowly opened the gifts, surprised by the expense his friend's paid. Duo and Heero gave him a new laptop, while Quatre's was a beautiful silver pocket watch, and Trowa gave him a pack of expensive silk ties. "God you guys this is too much."
"Glad you like them," Duo grinned.
"Well yes I do but you shouldn't have spent this kind of money on me," Wufei replied with a sigh.
"But we wanted to so just accept them," Quatre ordered with a large smile.
"Right," Wufei answered with a nod. "Thank you all!"
Duo beamed at Wufei removing the last opened gift from his lap, when the dark haired man was startled by Treize's hand on his shoulder. "Treize?" He asked surprised when the older man knelt down on one knee in front of him.
"I know I said I'd never ask this unless you were ready," Treize started to say taking Wufei's hand in his, "but I feel like now is the right time to ask. Wufei Chang will you allow me the honor of your hand in marriage?"
Wufei's eyes widened his mouth hanging open as Treize pulled out a small black box, which he opened to reveal a diamond wrapped gold band. Wufei's hands shook in his lap his heart beating heavily in his chest. He didn't know what to say, yet he felt like if he opened his mouth the right answer would come out. He swallowed before finally letting fate play her hand; he opened his mouth and said, "yes!"
Treize smiled pulling the ring from its box and taking Wufei's hand slipped it on his finger in front of the promise ring. He reached up and gently wiped away the tears Wufei didn't even realize he was shedding. Treize leaned forward gently kissing Wufei, "I love you so much."
"Yay!" Everyone in the room cheered causing Wufei to blush. The night outside began to gently litter the ground in white flakes as the friends and family inside celebrated.
Oh yeah, oh
In these moments, moments of our lives
All the world is ours
And this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together, oh
Sharing the same dream
As time goes by, we will find
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times, we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
Mmm, oh yeah
With each moment, moment passing by
We'll make memories that will last our whole lives
As you and I travel through time together, oh yeah
Living this sweet dream
And every day, we can say
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times, we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
These tender moments
When heaven is so close
These are the moments that I know
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times, the tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
Oh yeah, yeah
